New education curriculum sparks rural fears

The Member for Dalrymple has labelled the new national educational curriculum as a "disaster" for remote students.

Shane Knuth posed a question without notice to the Queensland Education Minister in Parliament, asking what was going to be done to better support children in distance education programs.

He told the Parliament the new curriculum is making life difficult for families on properties throughout rural Queensland.

"Course material is incomplete and the level of work is too high which has made it hard for parents of isolated students to teach their children," he said.

"Many parents are concerned with the political ideology contained in the subject material."

Education Minister John-Paul Langbroek says his department is aware of the concerns and it is working to make the curriculum easier for remote parents to deliver.

"We are making sure that we are working with people online, we are working with them as hard as we can to make sure that the resourcing is delivered to them on time, that's obviously imperative, but also in language that they can understand so that they can then pass it on to their students," he said.
